To ensure you are making the right decision before purchasing any home, a pre-purchase pest inspection is essential. If there’s any major issues with the home, it’s better to find out now, rather than after you buy it.
-
Professional Advice - Just visiting the house will not allow you to see if there is any critical damage or pest problems. Along with identifying any issues, a professional can help you with resolutions and provide an estimated cost for resolving the problem. They can also guide you on whether the property is worth your money or not.
-
Negotiating Power - The report can provide you with the upper hand in negotiating with the seller. If the inspection reveals major issues, you don’t have to pull out of the sale, but you can use it as an opportunity to re-negotiate your terms and price.
-
The Full Picture - They will help you understand the extent of the problem before you buy the property. They can explain the seriousness of the pest problem and talk you through any long term effects or future work that might be required.
-
Future Costs - A professional can provide you with an approximate amount that you will need to invest to resolve the pest problem so you know exactly how much money you are going to spend in the future, and whether it’s still a worthwhile purchase.
-
Value Assessment - Pre-purchase pest inspection plays an important role in assessing the true value of the property you intend to purchase.
-
Safety of Your Loved Ones - The safety of your loved ones is always the most important factor. In order to make sure you are purchasing a property that does not have any unseen structural damage or could cause health issues, it is absolutely necessary to conduct a pre-purchase pest inspection.
Peace of Mind - A pre-purchase pest inspection helps assure you that you have made the right decision for you and your family.
